We follow photographer Chris Rainier as he travels around the world, from India through Paraguay to Papua New Guinea, to face a crucial challenge, photographing... Lasīt tālāk the essence of language itself. Accompanied by two linguists, he photographs locals speaking a previously undocumented language on the northeast frontier of India, records a shaman ceremony in the Pantanal of Paraguay, and films the initiation dance of an indigenous tribe in Papua New Guinea. It´s Chris´s life-long objective to photograph the traditions of endangered cultures before they are lost forever but he knows time is running out. More than fifty percent of the world´s 7,000 languages may be extinct by the end of the century, and Chris sees his pictures as cultural documentation for future generations - a portfolio of iconic images that may be used to revitalize cultures and languages.

During a time when many societies were transitioning from nomadic lifestyles to more permanent village settlements, a long-lived man was given a special burial ... Lasīt tālākin a remote desert cave. Placed around him were various personal objects carefully stained with blood red ochre, including a broken bow, a flint knife, a walking stick and a pair of leather sandals. The presence of weapons inspired the moniker, The Warrior, but the other artifacts could indicate the roaming existence of a hunter. Six thousand years later, the Lost Faces of the Bible team of archaeologists, forensic anthropologists and artists try to determine how this ancient man lived and what he looked like in his final hours.

Lasīt tālāk waterfalls, Zeb hopes to see which channels giant fish use to migrate upriver to their spawning grounds. Zeb´s mission is urgent; dozens of dams are scheduled to be built along this river and this could affect fish migrations. To help find these channels Zeb enlists the assistance of Trip Jennings, a National Geographic Young Explorer, and his team of world-class kayakers. They will run some of the world´s most dangerous whitewater2 to map the river bottom - something no one has ever done before3. Using specialized kayaks ,Trip and his team hope to collect river gradient and depth; factors that will help determine which channels the fish climb. Zeb also fishes with local fishermen, witnesses an amazing mass fish migration and discovers an important channel that fish, including the Mekong giant catfish, use to migrate. But plans to dam the channel could block the migratory routes and place the lives of fish, and the millions of people who depend on them for their livelihoods5, at risk. Zeb hopes the information the team collects will help the authorities understand the importance of fish and fisheries in this area before they decide to proceed with the construction of dams.
